INA230EVM Hardware Setup
2.2 Signal Definitions of H1 (10-Pin Male Connector Socket)
Table 3 lists the pinout for the 10-pin connector socket used to communicate between the INA230EVM
and the SM-USB-DIG. It should be noted that the INA230EVM only uses the necessary I
2
C
communication lines (pins 1 and 3) and the V
DUT
and GND pins (pin 6 and pin 8) to issue commands to
the INA230 chip.

2.2.1 Theory of Operation for SM-USB-DIG Platform
Figure 4 shows the block diagram for the SM-USB-DIG Platform. This platform is a general-purpose data
acquisition system that is used on several different Texas Instruments evaluation modules. The details of
its operation are included in a separate document,
SBOU098 (available for download at www.ti.com ). The
block diagram shown in Figure 4 gives a brief overview of the platform. The primary control device on the
SM-USB-DIG Platform is the TUSB3210 . The TUSB3210 is an 8052 microcontroller that has an onboard
USB interface. The microcontroller receives information from the host computer that it interprets into
power, I
2
C, SPI, and other digital I/O patterns. During the digital I/O transaction, the microcontroller reads
the response of any device connected to the I/O interface. The response from the device is sent back to
the PC where it is interpreted by the host computer.
